I'm not sure if this takes into account para-virtualized networks on VMs, ie. VMware vm's with "virtual" hardware access
It's been a few years for me tho, so perhaps it's covered with the VM section.
Lovely diagram, thanks for sharing it!
You can also buy a cheap cd player and some CDs from a second hand store

Doesn’t this just reinforce your echo chamber? Your “editor” only gives you stuff you want to see not the stuff you need or should see.
And once you empower someone to gate or filter your access to information, what’s stopping them from treating you like the product for a better paying customer, like today?
You have hit the nail on the head there! The point in the book was that depending on your editor, you were essentially living in different realities.
There was the east and west coasts, and then there was Ameristan (or something I can't remember exactly) in between, which was fundamentalist

Fall, or Dodge in hell, by Neil Stephenson has a take on this.
The internet is flooded with slop and rage-bait on purpose. So filled as to be unusable, like a firehose of shit. So in there comes a role if "editor" whose job it is (you pay them) to only give you, well not even what's "true", rather what reflects your world view. So which editor you have becomes a factor in how you live, where your educated, your status.
It will be interesting to see if something as explicit as editors arise.
I will say this, if you stay off Facebook and some of the other big social sites for a while, it is like a madhouse when you glance back

But people have be editing photos like that before AI and even before Photoshop, I don't see the big deal. What I've seen recently is synthesizing whole new pictures with AI, by training a LoRA on their face and body and asking the AI to create themselves with a specific setting or background.
People were pirating before napster, but napster made it easy, accessable, and let people do it with little to no barrier.
It's the same with this.. yes photo editing could always be done, but it's far easier now to get better results. It's accessibility changes the game

> Zim handles several types of markup, like headings, bullet lists and of course bold, italic and highlighted.
OK, I think this may be a bit less powerful than Notion and Obsidian.
A good bit less powerful yes. But the simplicity is a huge strength when it comes to long term tech. I started using it in 2012 I believe.
The most important thing in any note taking app is to use it consistently and use it for years. And bring it with you as you change jobs.
Sometimes simple things that work in plain text files that can be exported and imported easily is what you need for long term note taking.
